I might make one! Just like the one shown here I made it for tuning the TIV bike spokes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
 There's more info about it in my blog. QUOTE(Cap'n Krusty @ Aug 3 2008, 08:23 AM)  13 would work, but howya gonna get a torque wrench AND a screwdriver in there? The Cap'n |
